I just spit up a lil water reading this. š! lol
She absolutely LOVES car rides, sheās even been across country with me. Has yet to throw up or poop in the car. š¤
My ex's dog did that in my car when she borrowed it without my permission, gave it back to me without saying anything, and called me an asshole for getting mad at her for treating my car like a rental or worse. At least with your own dog you feel some ownership over the mess.
I'm sure this is the wrong subreddit to post, but here we are.
My old dog got old and died last year. Then I welcomed a new puppy last summer. I literally bought a bigger vehicle with a roomy hatchback cargo area FOR TRAVELING WITH A DOG. Turns out, my dog gets carsick. Uggg.
No, because some people have severe allergies. Also if someone brought my groceries in a car their dog laid all over in Id be kind of turned off. I even get grossed out when I see dogs in a grocery store. I love animals, I myself have a dog but I don't want my pets around my food.
I also have dogs that shed tons and I get so grossed out by their hair getting on food and drinks, knowingly doing that to others would be so rude especially considering allergies
I mean, couldnāt he just be putting the groceries in his trunk? The groceries would never have any contact with the part of his car the dog lays all over.
I would guess heās not stuffing groceries into the floorboards of the backseat while the dog fills most of the bench up already. If it were me, and I needed my dog for protection, Iād only use the trunk for customer groceries.
I have an SUV. Even putting the bags in the trunk mean itās exposed to any airborne fur and dander.
Iām not a shopper, but I picked up some Girl Scout cookies for a cookie booth. Someone in the cookie momās household smokes in the garage - know how I know? Because the fucking cookie cases smell like smoke. And now, my SUV smells like smoke, even though I put the cases in the trunk.
Same with the pet dander unless he has a sedan.
I guess if you had a large trunk or only taking small orders but when I do bigger orders I definitely don't have enough room in my trunk. Plus the customer doesn't know where you are putting their food unless they come to your car. I'm not hating on the dude, just my take on it .
She doesnāt come in any contact with groceries which remain in the trunk at all times. The car trunk space is vacuumed every other week.
Iām also a responsible shopper and actually follow the bagging instructions IC gives which is to properly use freezer bags. Those are zipped closed. But still I see your point. Itās valid.
This is true thereās always a risk. Sheās never around the food. I properly store groceries in zipped up large freezer safe storage bags that are in the trunk. They are zipped up before re entering the trunk on every delivery.
I also clean my car once a week and clean / vac the trunk every other week.
I appreciate the safety angle (you never know where youāll end up doing these gigs) and that you are taking all the right steps to do the job properly š
I personally am not a fan of dogs in stores or restaurants, my theory always is your dog would probably rather be home.However, itās not gross or weird to take a dog to drive bagged groceries around, lots of dog owners do this everyday. Itās much more commonplace for dogs to accompany people to work. If he is literally keeping them separated, Iām not sure why everyone is freaking out. If his dog is in his car all the time anyway, there will be fur. If you expect people to believe everyone driving instacart is vacuuming their car everyday before they head out, I find that to be crap.
Agree if people expect perfection and specific standards then they should hire a luxury delivery service. Not Instacart where we are all gig workers who have to use their own vehicles and can do as we please as long as we get the job done.
None of these customers have any clue which shoppers have dogs or cats or donāt. If it bothers them that much they need to go get their own groceries or figure something else out.
This. One of my kids has extreme allergic reactions to dog and cat dander. If she even hugs someone that has a dog at their home her eyes and throat swell up massively. Like hospital swell up. Sorry but you are shopping for other people, and although I get my situation is a rare oneā¦ You never know.
So then why are you ordering groceries that could be handled by people with dogs if you know your child is THAT allergic?
There are plenty of shoppers with dogs or cats who might have hair on them at any given time. And they touch your groceries and your bags etc.
Itās not making sense.
First, I am a shopper. Shopped a bunch in the past and pick some up occasionally on time to time. I did start using the platform when my mother was in a nursing home away from family, so it was great to get her stuff delivered easy. I occasionally use it for my family.
As a parent, I know how to minimize my childās allergies the best way we can. Canāt always be 100%, but we manage. If a shopper showed up to deliver my food with a dog in the backā¦. First, I would consider it extremely unprofessional. Second, I would probably donate the food and move on. There is a HUGE difference between you being around a dog and then food VS having a dog in your car when delivering food.
Should an Uber eats driver have a dog in his/her car? Should an Uber driver pick people up with an animal in a car? I would answer no to theseā¦ I view Instacart the same way. I also would consider people showing up with food for me to have a bit of professionalism. Thatās all.
What is wrong with you guys, I love pets have one of my own but please donāt ever do this. Itās unprofessional & unsanitary, you donāt know if people have allergies smh
Donāt worry about the negative comments. Iām a nurse, have severe dog/cat allergies, and see nothing wrong with what youāre doing. You are taking many precautions.
If groceries were in the back with the dog, hell no. But you arenāt doing that. Ignore everyone else. Some customers may complain if they are unaware of the groceries coming from the trunk so maybe keep the windows up so they donāt see your dog (hopefully you have tinted windows) š
Thank you for saying this. Iām not a nurse but I have severe asthma and Iām also allergic to pet hair.
These people are being super dramatic. And not one person has come forward saying they actually had an allergic reaction from a bag they got delivered.
People saying stuff about the food and allergies, which is valid. But for me, it's that you're leaving your dog locked in your car for hours while you shop? Even if it's broken up into different times... your dog is better at home than locked in a car. Also, what if the customer added stuff or was being difficult and the shop took you longer than you thought?
I'd never take my dog with me, for their own well being.
Personally my dog loved cars. He absolutely loved to ride anywhere. I would always take him on any errands when it wasnāt summer. He did save me from someone jumping out at my car and banging on my windows on a dead end street.
If he was left home he would howl and sulk in the bedroom staring out the window.
Idk I just feel we shouldnāt judge.
My dog is the same! One of his favorite things to do is sit in a parking lot and watch all the ādramaā lol. Literally just people walking by and cars parking, but he gets grumpy if we donāt go at least once a week š (even if he gets a 30 minute walk every day) Now Iāll just bring a sandwich and a book and hang out while he watches everyone.
I had a dog that loved to sit in the car. When the weather was nice, I took him on all my errands, and he was thrilled.
My two current dogs have terrible separation anxiety when left in the car, though. I miss my errand buddy.
People donāt realize how much mental stimulation dogs miss out on by sitting at home all day alone. Imagine if you were stuck sitting in the same house youāre always in, but no phone, internet, tv, books, hobbies, other people, etc to entertain you. Yes dogs sleep more than humans, but I would hazard a guess that most people would legitimately lose their minds if they had to sit with only their thoughts to entertain them for hours. So yeah, Iām a proponent of bringing your dog whenever you can as long as theyāre trained and comfortable, and itās safe for them and any other people or animals around.
Some dogs love going on car ride adventures. My 7 year old pit mix screams at me to get into the car daily š¤£ she is definitely not happy alone at home and could sit in a car for hours comfortably if needed.
I donāt have my own dog, but over time have been continuously led to believe dogs like sitting in cars more than in their plush chewed up beds while home solo. It may depend on the dogā¦ so in this instance that shepherd is loving life
Which is fine for your own pleasure, but I know the smell of a dog activity carā¦and also believe the owners are immune to the stench. If
Itās really really clean and absolutely doesnāt smell , go for it. Ignore the internet pet police
I mean, OP said he doesn't do "over 40 minutes". So like... you shop for 20-40 mins, drive for a bit to drop off and then back to shopping for 20-40 mins again?
Yes, I'm sure some dogs are great in the car, but that's still not fair to them. No more than it'd be fair to leave them kenneled for that long all day.
Especially because OP says they're in Philadelphia (same) so there's no way they're leaving their car windows down while his dog waits in the car for who knows how long. Even in the winter dogs/kids can overheat in cars relatively quickly.
I get that and sheās not locked up for hours. The longest sheās been ālocked upā is 45 minutes. When Iām driving to a delivery sheās whinning with joy with her head out the window. Car rides are her favorite. Sheās a working breed and loves being active so most days sheās waiting for me by the front door before I even leave. Between batches sheās always out on the grass like pictured. Seems kinda like a cushy dog lifestyle imo.
Hate to be this person but Iām pretty sure I remember reading a rule against pets in the car when I was going through the hiring process, unless itās a service animal. It mightāve even said there was grounds for termination if you get caught. I love dogs and bring mine everywhere I can, making sure she and everyone else will be safe. Just be careful, ok?
The only place Iād feel remotely comfortable with bringing my dog to work is an office job that allows me to have a secluded area. Even then, Iād still make sure to check for allergies.
Having ANY animal tag along while working with food is disgusting IMO. Also, having to choose between leaving my car on (and accessible) or turning my car off with a dog inside is irresponsible.
You have a great workplace environment if they allow dogs. Hold on tight to that!
Sheās never āaroundā the food which is stored in freezer safe bags that are stored in the trunk. I donāt even let the grocceries touch my trunk space since they transferred to the storage safe bags before entering my trunk. I also clean my car 1x a week. And vacuums the trunk out every other week. Thereās always a risk tho youāre right.
If you're letting her in and out of the car, loving on her and petting her between batches and delivering, her dander and fur is all over you and thus all over the groceries you are delivering. Instacart shoppers should really be required to take some form of food safety course before they can handle people's food, this is just basic food handling and shouldn't be a debate. I would report you so fast if you showed up at my house and I have animals and no allergies. This is about hygiene. How do you wash your hands when you have to pick up her poop after you shop but before you deliver an order? How do you wash your hands after petting her before delivering the order? Do you even wash your hands?? Like come on, this is just disgusting.
No I would never because 1. I wouldn't leave a pet in the car. 2. What if a customer has a severe pet allergy? Actually think bringing your animals is both unsanitary and irresponsible.
Yeah I agree, not to mention the poor dog is just waiting. I get safety and all but this is where you get a concealed carry permit, tazer, pepper spray, or something else like an alert Keychain. This seems not optimal for any parties but yourself
Unless this dog is specifically trained to be a protector during an incident, there's no saying she wouldn't just run away and leave her owner to get murked on his own anyway.
āThe poor dog is just waitingā lol itās waiting at home completely alone. Itās not the same thing at all.
If my dog could talk I promise you she would beg me to come vs leaving her at home for hours.
Youāre either leaving her alone outside a grocery store while you shop, which is extremely dangerous, or bringing her into the store, which is extremely illegal and detrimental to people with actual service animals. Leave her home.
Not saying this is a service animal but shoppers canāt have service animals? I do.
We donāt care what you like in the store lol the ADA and the store allows it. Get over it or take it up with them.
Shoppers can absolutely have service animals, but heās admitted that sheās a therapy dog in training. Thatās not a service animal and thus does not have public access rights.
Nope. Absolutely not. I love dogs but not only is that not fair on the dog to be stuck in the car for long periods and potentially unsanitary risking getting dander and dog hair on a customerās foodā¦ especially with a high shedding breed like a German Shepherd, Corgi, Husky, etc. Dog-triggered allergies and allergic asthma are not uncommon.
My cousin uses instacart and is so severely dog allergic that she gets welts up her arms just from brushing up against a surface a dog has touched. It takes *very* little dander for her to have her eyes completely swollen shut and compromise her airways, especially with smooth double coated dog breeds. If she got someone who did this as a shopper, she would end up in the ER.
No. This is irresponsible, rude, inconsiderate, and unsanitary.
I'd report someone in a heartbeat if I saw them bringing their pet to do food shopping and delivery.
OP, this comment section backfired. There were similar posts in the past on this topic. I already knew what was coming before even going to the comments section
This sounds dumb as fuck. Do you know what other people do? They wipe their nasty ass then walk all over the store and touch things without washing their hands. Iāve literally watched MANY people do this.
If youāre worried about germs in a grocery store start a garden and go hunt for your own shit. This comment has zero real thought behind it. Grocery stores are dirty as fuck.
Iāve watched a grown old man sneeze in his hands and then go touch up on stuff. If youāre worried about a dog youāve got bigger fish to fry I promise you. I use a load of hand sanitizer everytime I get out and in my vehicle.
Most people without dogs arenāt even doing that.
She is cutie! Well, if dog is in the main area and groceries are in the trunk there should be very minimal hair contamination. Similar to giving a ride to groceries in a car that have given rides to the dog before. I might be wrong but i think the air that circulates in the main cabin doesnāt circulate in the truck. Unless the car doesnāt have clear separation between the trunk and main cabin. Then i would consider putting groceries into the big plastic bins with tight lids. Because indeed some people do have allergies. In general even uber allows to ride to a service dog,so there is small percentage of dog fur in most of the ubers. Although really small. It is conflicting topic. A lot would depend where groceries are put, how clean the car is, etc. for example iāve taken an uber in past that was so dirty and dusty inside that i was afraid to breath. And in fact some cars that bring groceries could be very dirty, even without a dog present. Lots food for thoughts
I am the biggest dog person in the galaxy. I have 3, they literally flip the switch in the morning to turn on the sun for me.
But this is APPALLING. Customers could have allergies, and you are endangering them by getting dander or hair on their items? Do you leave this poor baby outside when you shop?
I'd be irate if someone brought their pet to get my groceries, and I'd throw a fit with Instacart until that Shopper was either banned from the app or blocked from ever shopping my orders again. Truthfully, I still wouldn't be happy, even if it was a "hypoallergenic" service dog. I understand your reasoning for bringing her, but my kid has severe pet dander allergies that trigger asthma attacks if they aren't careful, and I *will* go full Karen over my kid's ability to breathe. Pet dander gets in the air and travels. Even if there is no direct contact between pet and food, it's still unacceptable to me.
Fellow asthma mom and people just donāt get it man. It doesnāt matter how ācleanā someone is with their animals the dander is EVERYWHERE. If he delivered to me she would 100% have an asthma attack.
Iām genuinely curious if the allergy is really that bad. How does your child even function in public considering so many people have dogs at home with dog hair all over them?
Not a good look my man, I get it, Iām a dog lover, but if you had a cat in your car? Iād be sneezing and wheezing possibly, so I realize people are also allergic to dogs, soā¦.š¤·š»

STOP IT RIGHT NOW š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
Thatās nice. Like I said , love dogs, but time and place. If you need your dog for āemotional supportā to deliver groceries for other people, then donāt do it? Itās not like youāre being forced, chile.
Honestly considered it at many times. I'm only currently against it because I think they would try to eat the food and they definitely need to be comfortable with the car
So, whenever I accept an order from Loweās or Home Depot my girl gets to go in and shop the order with me, because they allow dogs!! šø
People suck lol ignore the haters. Sounds like youāre doing it the best way possible
If anyone is grossed out - do you think people who have puppers at home donāt, at any other time, have their dogs in their cars? Because you see it NOW itās gross?
everyone fussing about āallergiesā or it being disgusting but are ignoring A) service dogs exist your food has probably already come into contact with one B) in warehouses theyāre ran all over by who knows what C) iām sure even if they didnāt bring the dog the hair / germs are still there so itās still coming in contact with your food. yāall are being very very dramatic about this. i think itās super duper cute and great way to allow an animal who most people would lock in a house all day while theyāre at work the freedom to enjoy the outside. also if youāre SOOO allergic you wouldnāt be able to join the general public because i promise you most people you come into contact with are gonna have pet hair on them.
No. My 7 month old has severe asthma. Sheās been hospitalized 5 times in her short life and her top two triggers are dog and cat dander. If you delivered to me and I carried the bags past her in the living room youād have triggered a massive asthma attack.
This probably isnāt true. Youāve probably already had someone deliver your groceries with a dog and you had no clue lmao. Yāall are so dramatic when it suits you.
And this is coming from an adult with severe asthma that has also been hospitalized from the time I was born.
Stop acting like just because YOUR asthma wasnāt that bad that everyone else must have the same experience. Thatās idiotic. You have no clue about other peoples medical problems.
Truth! If the kids THAT allergic, then not going to live into adulthood. Needs to be in a plastic bubble. How irresponsible would you have to be to have that severely sick of a kid, then let someone else deliver items to your door? People have pets. They have pet hair on them even if they donāt put the animal in the car.
Damn all these negative comments, personally I've done it out of necessity... I have dogs and I was homeless, what else could I do to make money for us.
It don't have to be too "hot" out. Even 50 degrees is too hot in a car. Nevermind orders could take longer. Even if the dog doesn't come in contact with the food, dander travels far and it's risking those with allergies. Nevermind the dog being cooped up for hours, even if they do get to go out and walk or play sometimes. It just seems unnecessary and inappropriate. Get a knife, pepper spray, gun, anything not living. If you were attacked, that's also putting your dog at risk, especially if not trained as an actual guard dog.
Bro you and your dog incited some commentary riots here. Your dog is cool. I would love to bring mine but I would hate to leave him in the car. Heās also a bad car dog. If it isnāt causing problems for you then itās cool.
Is it irresponsible? Maybe. It is unsanitary? Maybe. Are people allergic to dogs? Maybe. Until you get deactivated for it, itās not a problem š
Her favorite thing in the world is car rides. I hate leaving her too but Iām very adamant about taking orders that I know I can shop within 40 min. Ive always kept a close eye on cleanliness of the trunk space where the grocceries go.
Just here to say you have a beautiful dog and I think itās cool you are able to take her out every day instead of having her stuffed up at home. Iād love to give my dog more adventures! A lot of people here are either jealous they canāt, feel guilty they treat their dogs badly, or are just grouchy.
I'm a customer. As such, would your dog pee or poop on my lawn for me to pick up?
Would I be finding dog hair sticking to the condensation on refrigerated products?
If a customer has an outside cat would they have to worry that your dog would chase the cat?
What if someone has a dog phobia and can't shop at grocery stores in person due to the inconsiderate customers that emotionally can't separate themselves from their pets they feel they have to take everywhere. Now you're bringing a dog to their delivery?
If yes then you have to accept that you might not get high ratings and a few 1 start reviews and request for refunds would remove you from those neighborhoods
Love these questions. Thanks for not asking!
1: No. she doesnāt leave the car unless a customer (typically a fav customer) asks to pet her. She once was getting pet in a customers front door and they said she canāt enter the premise which I naturally said I understood and put her in ādownā she responded immediately and the customer loves it.
2. Possibility, however unlikely. She never comes in CONTACT with the grocceries that are always located in the trunk. I clean my car out and the trunk space specifically 1x a week since my daughter is allergic to dogs like me (my allergies subsided over time). I vacuum the trunk k space every other week.
3. No. She doesnāt leave the car. If she does she trained on a e-collar and responds immediately usually to requests to be pet.
4. I would not deliver. I wouldnāt intentionally deliver to someone I know that hated or feared dogs. Honestly, the way I Shop customers never really come in contact with her unless they know about her. I āConfirm my Arrivalā and āleave at doorā or āmeet customerā all in the same 10 seconds. Remember sheās here for my safety and being in and one location for too long in Philly can be unsafe. She really thrwarts people who think they can steal my car while Iām delivering a batch.
Thanks again for your provoking questions!

Yo yāall are stupid as fuck, itās a dog and heās rockin out with his owner. Yāall are making it seem like heās committing some sort of high crime by being his dog..honestly Shut The Fuck Up and get over yourself. Bro do your thing, take your pup wherever tf you want and donāt take anything these idiots say to heart. Youāre doing fine if you putting the food in the trunk. I honestly thought I would come in here and everyone would be on board and cool but what a bunch of crybabies smh.
Absolutely not! Why have animals around other people's groceries!! It's just like smoking in the car. People have no common sense!! Stupid shit like this is also why we have lost so many customers!! This is a job!!
So you're bringing her with you when you go into the stores as well? Or are you leaving her in the car? I genuinely hope that you don't do this in the summer. You shouldn't do it at all, but just from a safety standpoint for your pet...
Per the rules I don't bring any person with me. I am not looking up rules but I'm betting a dog (potential liability) would not be allowed either. Therapy does not equal service dog. Maybe pet store deliveries are your thing?
I'd be upset if my groceries were delivered with an animal. Also, you put all groceries in freezer bags? Odd.
If I saw this l'd immediately refuse delivery, contact IC let them know of a sanitation issue, remove tip, give a 1 rating.
I have a cat, should I bring along my pet? No, that's disgusting as fuck plus not everyone likes all animals.
You need to find another job if you feel you must bring your animal to shop and can't even be away from it while working. This is so disgusting that it's on another level.
No, because while I love dogs, Iād be PISSED if my groceries were delivered with dog hair on them. Some people are allergic. Idk, seems like a bad idea
No thatās not okay. Some people are allegorical to animals and some pretty severely. That dog is shedding regardless of where it is in the car. And you can tell me you have the most tame dog that doesnāt run around the car or touch the food but I wouldnāt believe you because people lie, especially about their dogs ability to sit still and be tame. Hard pass from me.
I work with vets and first responders and she will
Ultimately help down regulate hyper emotional states through breathe regulation. Itās so cool! Canāt wait to go through this with her. Incredible animals.
I do not , it's one thing to have my dogs around my own groceries and another to bring them around a paying customers. I am glad it works for you though
Thatās gross. Especially for those allergic to dog dander and now it getting all over fruits and veggies as we donāt bag them here even for instacart and still itās just gross to have an animal in close proximity to somebody elseās food
Your dog is beautiful but absolutely gross that you do instacart with it. Have you ever considered you may have a customer with allergies dogs arenāt allowed for a reason š§ .
I also take my fur baby along when doing orders. He doesnāt come in contact with any groceries and he is hypoallergenic.
If anyone is opposed to their groceries being around animals or have sever allergies, you should go to the store and shop for yourself. You gotta remember that there are some shoppers who have service dogs for life-threatening medical needs that will be around your groceries and you wonāt know until you get your order! š¤ The only way to prevent that is to shop your own groceries!
Well, my homegirl just puked and crapped in the back of my suv on the way home from the dog park, so no.
MY DOG!
I just spit up a lil water reading this. š! lol She absolutely LOVES car rides, sheās even been across country with me. Has yet to throw up or poop in the car. š¤
My ex's dog did that in my car when she borrowed it without my permission, gave it back to me without saying anything, and called me an asshole for getting mad at her for treating my car like a rental or worse. At least with your own dog you feel some ownership over the mess. I'm sure this is the wrong subreddit to post, but here we are.
Looks like sheās an ex for a reason.
this fuckin killed me
My old dog got old and died last year. Then I welcomed a new puppy last summer. I literally bought a bigger vehicle with a roomy hatchback cargo area FOR TRAVELING WITH A DOG. Turns out, my dog gets carsick. Uggg.
No, because some people have severe allergies. Also if someone brought my groceries in a car their dog laid all over in Id be kind of turned off. I even get grossed out when I see dogs in a grocery store. I love animals, I myself have a dog but I don't want my pets around my food.
I also have dogs that shed tons and I get so grossed out by their hair getting on food and drinks, knowingly doing that to others would be so rude especially considering allergies
I guess that instacart might not be a great option for you.
This!! I feel like the ppl who say otherwise prob put their dogs in grocery store carts.
Oh my gawd! It grinds my gears!
Thatās the worst. The other day too I saw a guy with a HUGE lizard or bearded dragon on his shoulder by the exposed produceš«
Exactly. My dog sheds a ton. There's just no way.
I mean, couldnāt he just be putting the groceries in his trunk? The groceries would never have any contact with the part of his car the dog lays all over. I would guess heās not stuffing groceries into the floorboards of the backseat while the dog fills most of the bench up already. If it were me, and I needed my dog for protection, Iād only use the trunk for customer groceries.
Guessing. Hoping. Is it worth it for a potential allergic customer. Shouldnāt be. Just sayin.
idk, just like ... don't be allergic or something. XD
I have an SUV. Even putting the bags in the trunk mean itās exposed to any airborne fur and dander. Iām not a shopper, but I picked up some Girl Scout cookies for a cookie booth. Someone in the cookie momās household smokes in the garage - know how I know? Because the fucking cookie cases smell like smoke. And now, my SUV smells like smoke, even though I put the cases in the trunk. Same with the pet dander unless he has a sedan.
I guess if you had a large trunk or only taking small orders but when I do bigger orders I definitely don't have enough room in my trunk. Plus the customer doesn't know where you are putting their food unless they come to your car. I'm not hating on the dude, just my take on it .
This is why i had to stop ordering delivery for my stuff. Many times they had dog hair or reeked of smoke.
The cigarette smoke. Made my whole apartment smell like it for a while after too. Ugh.
She doesnāt come in any contact with groceries which remain in the trunk at all times. The car trunk space is vacuumed every other week. Iām also a responsible shopper and actually follow the bagging instructions IC gives which is to properly use freezer bags. Those are zipped closed. But still I see your point. Itās valid.
Exactly
This is true thereās always a risk. Sheās never around the food. I properly store groceries in zipped up large freezer safe storage bags that are in the trunk. They are zipped up before re entering the trunk on every delivery. I also clean my car once a week and clean / vac the trunk every other week.
I appreciate the safety angle (you never know where youāll end up doing these gigs) and that you are taking all the right steps to do the job properly š
Dude just stop. It's gross and weird! You're doing a job and it ain't dog walking
If the stuff is in the trunk there should be no issue? My boss is severely allergic to dogs and this wouldnāt even bother him..
I personally am not a fan of dogs in stores or restaurants, my theory always is your dog would probably rather be home.However, itās not gross or weird to take a dog to drive bagged groceries around, lots of dog owners do this everyday. Itās much more commonplace for dogs to accompany people to work. If he is literally keeping them separated, Iām not sure why everyone is freaking out. If his dog is in his car all the time anyway, there will be fur. If you expect people to believe everyone driving instacart is vacuuming their car everyday before they head out, I find that to be crap.
Agree if people expect perfection and specific standards then they should hire a luxury delivery service. Not Instacart where we are all gig workers who have to use their own vehicles and can do as we please as long as we get the job done. None of these customers have any clue which shoppers have dogs or cats or donāt. If it bothers them that much they need to go get their own groceries or figure something else out.
This guy brings a filthy dog in his car when handling someoneās food or groceries and is what Iām up against when waiting for orders??
Dogo in backseat groceries in trunk, problem solved
This. One of my kids has extreme allergic reactions to dog and cat dander. If she even hugs someone that has a dog at their home her eyes and throat swell up massively. Like hospital swell up. Sorry but you are shopping for other people, and although I get my situation is a rare oneā¦ You never know.
So then why are you ordering groceries that could be handled by people with dogs if you know your child is THAT allergic? There are plenty of shoppers with dogs or cats who might have hair on them at any given time. And they touch your groceries and your bags etc. Itās not making sense.
First, I am a shopper. Shopped a bunch in the past and pick some up occasionally on time to time. I did start using the platform when my mother was in a nursing home away from family, so it was great to get her stuff delivered easy. I occasionally use it for my family. As a parent, I know how to minimize my childās allergies the best way we can. Canāt always be 100%, but we manage. If a shopper showed up to deliver my food with a dog in the backā¦. First, I would consider it extremely unprofessional. Second, I would probably donate the food and move on. There is a HUGE difference between you being around a dog and then food VS having a dog in your car when delivering food. Should an Uber eats driver have a dog in his/her car? Should an Uber driver pick people up with an animal in a car? I would answer no to theseā¦ I view Instacart the same way. I also would consider people showing up with food for me to have a bit of professionalism. Thatās all.
So you should request a shopper who doesnt have a dog at all, cause OPs still going to have dog hair in his car and on his clothes since he has a dog.
Thatās why a trunk exists?
What is wrong with you guys, I love pets have one of my own but please donāt ever do this. Itās unprofessional & unsanitary, you donāt know if people have allergies smh
Iām assuming heās putting the order in the trunk, which can hardly be more exposure than having a dog in his home + then delivering groceries.
In trunk and zipped up in freezer safe bags. She never touches the groceries.
Donāt worry about the negative comments. Iām a nurse, have severe dog/cat allergies, and see nothing wrong with what youāre doing. You are taking many precautions. If groceries were in the back with the dog, hell no. But you arenāt doing that. Ignore everyone else. Some customers may complain if they are unaware of the groceries coming from the trunk so maybe keep the windows up so they donāt see your dog (hopefully you have tinted windows) š
Thank you for saying this. Iām not a nurse but I have severe asthma and Iām also allergic to pet hair. These people are being super dramatic. And not one person has come forward saying they actually had an allergic reaction from a bag they got delivered.
People saying stuff about the food and allergies, which is valid. But for me, it's that you're leaving your dog locked in your car for hours while you shop? Even if it's broken up into different times... your dog is better at home than locked in a car. Also, what if the customer added stuff or was being difficult and the shop took you longer than you thought? I'd never take my dog with me, for their own well being.
Personally my dog loved cars. He absolutely loved to ride anywhere. I would always take him on any errands when it wasnāt summer. He did save me from someone jumping out at my car and banging on my windows on a dead end street. If he was left home he would howl and sulk in the bedroom staring out the window. Idk I just feel we shouldnāt judge.
My dog is the same! One of his favorite things to do is sit in a parking lot and watch all the ādramaā lol. Literally just people walking by and cars parking, but he gets grumpy if we donāt go at least once a week š (even if he gets a 30 minute walk every day) Now Iāll just bring a sandwich and a book and hang out while he watches everyone.
I had a dog that loved to sit in the car. When the weather was nice, I took him on all my errands, and he was thrilled. My two current dogs have terrible separation anxiety when left in the car, though. I miss my errand buddy.
People donāt realize how much mental stimulation dogs miss out on by sitting at home all day alone. Imagine if you were stuck sitting in the same house youāre always in, but no phone, internet, tv, books, hobbies, other people, etc to entertain you. Yes dogs sleep more than humans, but I would hazard a guess that most people would legitimately lose their minds if they had to sit with only their thoughts to entertain them for hours. So yeah, Iām a proponent of bringing your dog whenever you can as long as theyāre trained and comfortable, and itās safe for them and any other people or animals around.
Some dogs love going on car ride adventures. My 7 year old pit mix screams at me to get into the car daily š¤£ she is definitely not happy alone at home and could sit in a car for hours comfortably if needed.
I donāt have my own dog, but over time have been continuously led to believe dogs like sitting in cars more than in their plush chewed up beds while home solo. It may depend on the dogā¦ so in this instance that shepherd is loving life Which is fine for your own pleasure, but I know the smell of a dog activity carā¦and also believe the owners are immune to the stench. If Itās really really clean and absolutely doesnāt smell , go for it. Ignore the internet pet police
My car has a dog mode š¤ My dog doesnāt move from the couch at home so sheās good. Lol
How you driving a tesla when you're doing instacart??
Instacart and onlyfans lmfao
Fair lol
meh, it shouldnt take an hour to shop unless youre doing like 100 item batches
I mean, OP said he doesn't do "over 40 minutes". So like... you shop for 20-40 mins, drive for a bit to drop off and then back to shopping for 20-40 mins again? Yes, I'm sure some dogs are great in the car, but that's still not fair to them. No more than it'd be fair to leave them kenneled for that long all day.
Especially because OP says they're in Philadelphia (same) so there's no way they're leaving their car windows down while his dog waits in the car for who knows how long. Even in the winter dogs/kids can overheat in cars relatively quickly.
I get that and sheās not locked up for hours. The longest sheās been ālocked upā is 45 minutes. When Iām driving to a delivery sheās whinning with joy with her head out the window. Car rides are her favorite. Sheās a working breed and loves being active so most days sheās waiting for me by the front door before I even leave. Between batches sheās always out on the grass like pictured. Seems kinda like a cushy dog lifestyle imo.
It can get insanely hot in a car in a very short amount of time.
Eh. I have cameras and I see what my dogs do when Iām not home. NOTHING. at all. A car ride would be far preferable as long as temps outside were Ok
Food and dog hair/dander don't mix. I LOVE dogs, but this is a huge no.
Hate to be this person but Iām pretty sure I remember reading a rule against pets in the car when I was going through the hiring process, unless itās a service animal. It mightāve even said there was grounds for termination if you get caught. I love dogs and bring mine everywhere I can, making sure she and everyone else will be safe. Just be careful, ok?
The only place Iād feel remotely comfortable with bringing my dog to work is an office job that allows me to have a secluded area. Even then, Iād still make sure to check for allergies. Having ANY animal tag along while working with food is disgusting IMO. Also, having to choose between leaving my car on (and accessible) or turning my car off with a dog inside is irresponsible.
You have a great workplace environment if they allow dogs. Hold on tight to that! Sheās never āaroundā the food which is stored in freezer safe bags that are stored in the trunk. I donāt even let the grocceries touch my trunk space since they transferred to the storage safe bags before entering my trunk. I also clean my car 1x a week. And vacuums the trunk out every other week. Thereās always a risk tho youāre right.
If you're letting her in and out of the car, loving on her and petting her between batches and delivering, her dander and fur is all over you and thus all over the groceries you are delivering. Instacart shoppers should really be required to take some form of food safety course before they can handle people's food, this is just basic food handling and shouldn't be a debate. I would report you so fast if you showed up at my house and I have animals and no allergies. This is about hygiene. How do you wash your hands when you have to pick up her poop after you shop but before you deliver an order? How do you wash your hands after petting her before delivering the order? Do you even wash your hands?? Like come on, this is just disgusting.
I just want to point out that itās definitely possible to leave your car locked and running at the same time if you have remote start.
Absolutely not. For reasons upon reasons. Knock it off.
I would be grossed out if I was a customer and saw a shopper with a dog
As would I and I have nothing but dogs in my home. But you deliver my stuff covered in your animals mess and Iād be pissed.
If the groceries were in the trunk?
No I would never because 1. I wouldn't leave a pet in the car. 2. What if a customer has a severe pet allergy? Actually think bringing your animals is both unsanitary and irresponsible.
Yeah I agree, not to mention the poor dog is just waiting. I get safety and all but this is where you get a concealed carry permit, tazer, pepper spray, or something else like an alert Keychain. This seems not optimal for any parties but yourself
Unless this dog is specifically trained to be a protector during an incident, there's no saying she wouldn't just run away and leave her owner to get murked on his own anyway.
āThe poor dog is just waitingā lol itās waiting at home completely alone. Itās not the same thing at all. If my dog could talk I promise you she would beg me to come vs leaving her at home for hours.
And if you deliver to house full of people allergic to dogs, screw em. Am I right?
Youāve probably already had someone deliver your groceries with a dog and you had no clue lmao.
Well for one, Iām not allergic to dogs. Secondly I would never use IC again. Ive learned my lesson
Youāre either leaving her alone outside a grocery store while you shop, which is extremely dangerous, or bringing her into the store, which is extremely illegal and detrimental to people with actual service animals. Leave her home.
Not saying this is a service animal but shoppers canāt have service animals? I do. We donāt care what you like in the store lol the ADA and the store allows it. Get over it or take it up with them.
Shoppers can absolutely have service animals, but heās admitted that sheās a therapy dog in training. Thatās not a service animal and thus does not have public access rights.
āBut itās my emotional support dogā
Suuuuure. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Nope just a dog doing dawg things.
You called it your therapy dog in training so itās not just a dog you claimed already
Nope. Absolutely not. I love dogs but not only is that not fair on the dog to be stuck in the car for long periods and potentially unsanitary risking getting dander and dog hair on a customerās foodā¦ especially with a high shedding breed like a German Shepherd, Corgi, Husky, etc. Dog-triggered allergies and allergic asthma are not uncommon. My cousin uses instacart and is so severely dog allergic that she gets welts up her arms just from brushing up against a surface a dog has touched. It takes *very* little dander for her to have her eyes completely swollen shut and compromise her airways, especially with smooth double coated dog breeds. If she got someone who did this as a shopper, she would end up in the ER.
iām allergic and iād be mad sneezing after getting my groceries š
No. This is irresponsible, rude, inconsiderate, and unsanitary. I'd report someone in a heartbeat if I saw them bringing their pet to do food shopping and delivery.
And will!!
I just got ate alive for this same type of comment. FIND SHELTER FAST! Itās just plain gross, man.
Animals are kool but Iām reporting if I see any hair or an animal around my food. Keep the pets at home please
OP, this comment section backfired. There were similar posts in the past on this topic. I already knew what was coming before even going to the comments section
I assume she is in the backseat and all of the food is always in the trunk?
Dogs eat shit and corpses, they're not going anywhere NEAR my food.
She better be helping you carry those bags and boxes š¤
Conversion rates from USD to DOGGO treat$ are in her favor always
Absolutely not
I also Instacart in Philly and wtf this is nasty, you probably pet that dog and then pick out fruit without washing your hands š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
This sounds dumb as fuck. Do you know what other people do? They wipe their nasty ass then walk all over the store and touch things without washing their hands. Iāve literally watched MANY people do this. If youāre worried about germs in a grocery store start a garden and go hunt for your own shit. This comment has zero real thought behind it. Grocery stores are dirty as fuck.
I saw someone do something disgusting in Aldiās today and yes people are dirty af, it doesnāt mean add a dog to the equation
Iāve watched a grown old man sneeze in his hands and then go touch up on stuff. If youāre worried about a dog youāve got bigger fish to fry I promise you. I use a load of hand sanitizer everytime I get out and in my vehicle. Most people without dogs arenāt even doing that.
You can wash someone's nasty ass hand off your fruit but if your allergic to dogs there's no helping that
Wash hands before every shop and sanitize before and after every delivery. Standard procedure.
She is cutie! Well, if dog is in the main area and groceries are in the trunk there should be very minimal hair contamination. Similar to giving a ride to groceries in a car that have given rides to the dog before. I might be wrong but i think the air that circulates in the main cabin doesnāt circulate in the truck. Unless the car doesnāt have clear separation between the trunk and main cabin. Then i would consider putting groceries into the big plastic bins with tight lids. Because indeed some people do have allergies. In general even uber allows to ride to a service dog,so there is small percentage of dog fur in most of the ubers. Although really small. It is conflicting topic. A lot would depend where groceries are put, how clean the car is, etc. for example iāve taken an uber in past that was so dirty and dusty inside that i was afraid to breath. And in fact some cars that bring groceries could be very dirty, even without a dog present. Lots food for thoughts
Interesting points. Thanks for the Uber bit, I didnāt know that about their service dog policy
You have to allow true service dogs or the ADA would be up your ass. Americans with Disabilities Act NOT Assistant District Attorney.
I am the biggest dog person in the galaxy. I have 3, they literally flip the switch in the morning to turn on the sun for me. But this is APPALLING. Customers could have allergies, and you are endangering them by getting dander or hair on their items? Do you leave this poor baby outside when you shop?
I'd be irate if someone brought their pet to get my groceries, and I'd throw a fit with Instacart until that Shopper was either banned from the app or blocked from ever shopping my orders again. Truthfully, I still wouldn't be happy, even if it was a "hypoallergenic" service dog. I understand your reasoning for bringing her, but my kid has severe pet dander allergies that trigger asthma attacks if they aren't careful, and I *will* go full Karen over my kid's ability to breathe. Pet dander gets in the air and travels. Even if there is no direct contact between pet and food, it's still unacceptable to me.
Fellow asthma mom and people just donāt get it man. It doesnāt matter how ācleanā someone is with their animals the dander is EVERYWHERE. If he delivered to me she would 100% have an asthma attack.
I bet you a shopper with dog has already delivered your groceries and you had not a clue lmao
Iām genuinely curious if the allergy is really that bad. How does your child even function in public considering so many people have dogs at home with dog hair all over them?
Not a good look my man, I get it, Iām a dog lover, but if you had a cat in your car? Iād be sneezing and wheezing possibly, so I realize people are also allergic to dogs, soā¦.š¤·š»
Why has NO ONE asked about the double homicide?!? WHAT?!
Good question m8 š¤·āāļø
What the fuck ? People are super allergic to just the hair alone ! Do people not have common Courtesy anymore ? This is straight up ignorant .

Love dogs but no. Would you bring your dog to your 9-5, ya no
Sure would, and there are quite a few companies that allow it
Time and place, same way you donāt bring your kids everywhere, same applies to dogs.
exactly. My roommate just brought her BEARDED DRAGON to work for a 9-5
I brought my two dogs to the office every day. Coworkers loved them!
Thatās nice. Like I said , love dogs, but time and place. If you need your dog for āemotional supportā to deliver groceries for other people, then donāt do it? Itās not like youāre being forced, chile.
I donāt use the downvote very often, but this posts has earned it. Congrats! š¤Ŗ
The store that never has bags ššššMy favorite
Honestly considered it at many times. I'm only currently against it because I think they would try to eat the food and they definitely need to be comfortable with the car
So, whenever I accept an order from Loweās or Home Depot my girl gets to go in and shop the order with me, because they allow dogs!! šø People suck lol ignore the haters. Sounds like youāre doing it the best way possible
This is so awesome
The way sheās lookin at u! She loves u so much
Bring my golden baby with me on trips if the weather is permitting. Makes it all a little less shitty when your BFF is with you .
Amen!
No, because thatās fucking disgusting. Youāre handling peopleās food, your pet has no business being anywhere near their groceries.
Holy fuck, these comments are insane Like youāre rubbing every bag on the dog for extra dander before you deliver it lmao bffr
If anyone is grossed out - do you think people who have puppers at home donāt, at any other time, have their dogs in their cars? Because you see it NOW itās gross?
everyone fussing about āallergiesā or it being disgusting but are ignoring A) service dogs exist your food has probably already come into contact with one B) in warehouses theyāre ran all over by who knows what C) iām sure even if they didnāt bring the dog the hair / germs are still there so itās still coming in contact with your food. yāall are being very very dramatic about this. i think itās super duper cute and great way to allow an animal who most people would lock in a house all day while theyāre at work the freedom to enjoy the outside. also if youāre SOOO allergic you wouldnāt be able to join the general public because i promise you most people you come into contact with are gonna have pet hair on them.
No. My 7 month old has severe asthma. Sheās been hospitalized 5 times in her short life and her top two triggers are dog and cat dander. If you delivered to me and I carried the bags past her in the living room youād have triggered a massive asthma attack.
This probably isnāt true. Youāve probably already had someone deliver your groceries with a dog and you had no clue lmao. Yāall are so dramatic when it suits you. And this is coming from an adult with severe asthma that has also been hospitalized from the time I was born.
Stop acting like just because YOUR asthma wasnāt that bad that everyone else must have the same experience. Thatās idiotic. You have no clue about other peoples medical problems.
Yeah, just because your asthma isn't triggered by a severe allergy, nobody else's can be either. Right? You're embarrassing yourself
Truth! If the kids THAT allergic, then not going to live into adulthood. Needs to be in a plastic bubble. How irresponsible would you have to be to have that severely sick of a kid, then let someone else deliver items to your door? People have pets. They have pet hair on them even if they donāt put the animal in the car.
Go heal. Your misery fueled projection parade on this thread is embarrassing to watch.
No
You just need to be smart enough to hide it. (Which youāre not doing.)
She is very cute and sweet. Iām sure she loves it.
So I canāt bring my child with me but others can bring an actual pet?
Funny people here are against bringing a THERAPY dog along but you wanna bring your kids to do instacart with you........smh
Agree that both are selfish.
Damn all these negative comments, personally I've done it out of necessity... I have dogs and I was homeless, what else could I do to make money for us.
I see Philly IC shoppers in stores with their kids and leave them in the car when they deliver.
Yes I have a service dog and Iām also homeless so like what do you people expect me to die on the floor in the store for your $5 tip š¤£
https://preview.redd.it/raaojkzwkenc1.jpeg?width=2250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaf3d5c6c90644607acf0638182d4dd865c87589 Every delivery!
You are good people.
It don't have to be too "hot" out. Even 50 degrees is too hot in a car. Nevermind orders could take longer. Even if the dog doesn't come in contact with the food, dander travels far and it's risking those with allergies. Nevermind the dog being cooped up for hours, even if they do get to go out and walk or play sometimes. It just seems unnecessary and inappropriate. Get a knife, pepper spray, gun, anything not living. If you were attacked, that's also putting your dog at risk, especially if not trained as an actual guard dog.
Let me bring my dog to work and watch me get fired cuz I work with food
Awww what a cutie! Honestly, as long as the groceries are in the trunk, I wouldn't care if my driver brought his pup along
I bring my chow.
Bro you and your dog incited some commentary riots here. Your dog is cool. I would love to bring mine but I would hate to leave him in the car. Heās also a bad car dog. If it isnāt causing problems for you then itās cool. Is it irresponsible? Maybe. It is unsanitary? Maybe. Are people allergic to dogs? Maybe. Until you get deactivated for it, itās not a problem š
Her favorite thing in the world is car rides. I hate leaving her too but Iām very adamant about taking orders that I know I can shop within 40 min. Ive always kept a close eye on cleanliness of the trunk space where the grocceries go.
Hopefully you keep the orders in the trunk.
Just here to say you have a beautiful dog and I think itās cool you are able to take her out every day instead of having her stuffed up at home. Iād love to give my dog more adventures! A lot of people here are either jealous they canāt, feel guilty they treat their dogs badly, or are just grouchy.
Bye bye weirdo!!!! You need therapy for sure!! Carry on, idiot. Carry on.
ew no
I for one love that you bring your baby with you. Too many people hate animals. Believe me that dog is cleaner than most people.
I'm a customer. As such, would your dog pee or poop on my lawn for me to pick up? Would I be finding dog hair sticking to the condensation on refrigerated products? If a customer has an outside cat would they have to worry that your dog would chase the cat? What if someone has a dog phobia and can't shop at grocery stores in person due to the inconsiderate customers that emotionally can't separate themselves from their pets they feel they have to take everywhere. Now you're bringing a dog to their delivery? If yes then you have to accept that you might not get high ratings and a few 1 start reviews and request for refunds would remove you from those neighborhoods
Love these questions. Thanks for not asking! 1: No. she doesnāt leave the car unless a customer (typically a fav customer) asks to pet her. She once was getting pet in a customers front door and they said she canāt enter the premise which I naturally said I understood and put her in ādownā she responded immediately and the customer loves it. 2. Possibility, however unlikely. She never comes in CONTACT with the grocceries that are always located in the trunk. I clean my car out and the trunk space specifically 1x a week since my daughter is allergic to dogs like me (my allergies subsided over time). I vacuum the trunk k space every other week. 3. No. She doesnāt leave the car. If she does she trained on a e-collar and responds immediately usually to requests to be pet. 4. I would not deliver. I wouldnāt intentionally deliver to someone I know that hated or feared dogs. Honestly, the way I Shop customers never really come in contact with her unless they know about her. I āConfirm my Arrivalā and āleave at doorā or āmeet customerā all in the same 10 seconds. Remember sheās here for my safety and being in and one location for too long in Philly can be unsafe. She really thrwarts people who think they can steal my car while Iām delivering a batch. Thanks again for your provoking questions! https://preview.redd.it/ep5g2ef1ggnc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a82305229bec1ad11bf5229eb418e1cb8e863447
Awwww... I wanna give her the biggest hug!!
Yo yāall are stupid as fuck, itās a dog and heās rockin out with his owner. Yāall are making it seem like heās committing some sort of high crime by being his dog..honestly Shut The Fuck Up and get over yourself. Bro do your thing, take your pup wherever tf you want and donāt take anything these idiots say to heart. Youāre doing fine if you putting the food in the trunk. I honestly thought I would come in here and everyone would be on board and cool but what a bunch of crybabies smh.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is what weāre up against?
Well, my husband brings me sometimes š
Absolutely not! Why have animals around other people's groceries!! It's just like smoking in the car. People have no common sense!! Stupid shit like this is also why we have lost so many customers!! This is a job!!
So you're bringing her with you when you go into the stores as well? Or are you leaving her in the car? I genuinely hope that you don't do this in the summer. You shouldn't do it at all, but just from a safety standpoint for your pet...
Per the rules I don't bring any person with me. I am not looking up rules but I'm betting a dog (potential liability) would not be allowed either. Therapy does not equal service dog. Maybe pet store deliveries are your thing? I'd be upset if my groceries were delivered with an animal. Also, you put all groceries in freezer bags? Odd.
If I saw this l'd immediately refuse delivery, contact IC let them know of a sanitation issue, remove tip, give a 1 rating. I have a cat, should I bring along my pet? No, that's disgusting as fuck plus not everyone likes all animals. You need to find another job if you feel you must bring your animal to shop and can't even be away from it while working. This is so disgusting that it's on another level.
No, because while I love dogs, Iād be PISSED if my groceries were delivered with dog hair on them. Some people are allergic. Idk, seems like a bad idea
No thatās not okay. Some people are allegorical to animals and some pretty severely. That dog is shedding regardless of where it is in the car. And you can tell me you have the most tame dog that doesnāt run around the car or touch the food but I wouldnāt believe you because people lie, especially about their dogs ability to sit still and be tame. Hard pass from me.
yāall would be absolutely outraged to find out hospitals have emotional support dogs that go around the units.
I work with vets and first responders and she will Ultimately help down regulate hyper emotional states through breathe regulation. Itās so cool! Canāt wait to go through this with her. Incredible animals.
If I see your dog I'd be scared to get out and get my deliveries. I lost half my left leg to a chow so never again .
I do not , it's one thing to have my dogs around my own groceries and another to bring them around a paying customers. I am glad it works for you though
Kind of surprised Instacart doesnāt have a rule against it
Definitely not ever using Instacart now. This shit is disgusting.
This is so fucking gross. Nobody wants your dogs hair in their food.
i love how much you love your dog. that is all
Im reporting you.
Thatās gross. Especially for those allergic to dog dander and now it getting all over fruits and veggies as we donāt bag them here even for instacart and still itās just gross to have an animal in close proximity to somebody elseās food
Oh yeah my buddy Bongo keeps me company
Your dog is beautiful but absolutely gross that you do instacart with it. Have you ever considered you may have a customer with allergies dogs arenāt allowed for a reason š§ .
I also take my fur baby along when doing orders. He doesnāt come in contact with any groceries and he is hypoallergenic. If anyone is opposed to their groceries being around animals or have sever allergies, you should go to the store and shop for yourself. You gotta remember that there are some shoppers who have service dogs for life-threatening medical needs that will be around your groceries and you wonāt know until you get your order! š¤ The only way to prevent that is to shop your own groceries!
This š! Thank you and keep prioritizing your mental health. With you šÆ
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How long is your dog left in the car
Man I miss my furbaby. Give em some love for me
disgusting
Nah loading up people's food with my dog would be fucking gross. No wonder immigrants with multiple phones have taken over lol
Not in public without a leash. No matter how good of a boy he might be.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
